My dd is almost 5. If she moves out of the house at 20, that means I have already spent 1/4 of the time I get to be at home with her! I always believe the older people who tell me to enjoy this time as it goes by so fast, but this is the first time I've really felt it in my gut.

My oldest just turned 5 and I agree it DOES go fast. Before I had kids, I though five-year olds were still practically babies. I can't believe how mature they are at that age. I think that makes the time seem to go even faster. I thought I'd have babies longer.

Mama to three crazy, wonderful kiddos: dd1--12/2002, dd2--3/2005, and ds--3/2006

I have a 11, 8, and 6 year old it flys by...just the other day we were making the decison for me to stay home with the oldest and now its been 12 years....lol and I have never looked back. Yes there are times when I wish I had done more in the way of the "real world" but this world rocks!
